2017 First Bank of Nigeria Limited Management Associate Programme

First Bank of Nigeria Limited (FirstBank) is Nigeria’s largest
financial services institution by total assets and gross earnings. With
more than 10 million customer accounts, FirstBank has over 750 branches
providing a comprehensive range of retail and corporate financial
services. The Bank has international presence through its subsidiaries,
FBN Bank (UK) Limited in London and Paris, FBNBank DRC, FBNBank Ghana,
FBNBank Gambia, FBNBank Guinea, FBNBank Sierra-Leone and FBNBank
Senegal, as well as its Representative Offices in Johannesburg, Beijing
and Abu Dhabi.

FirstBank recently launched a Management Associate Programme, a
24-month fast-track comprehensive developmental programme, which is
targeted at young, dynamic, self-motivated and highly driven individuals
who are desirous to be part of the next generation of leaders in the
Bank.

The programme is intended to consciously integrate leadership into
the Bank’s culture, as well as build a pipeline of highly resourceful
and talented individuals who will be groomed to drive the Bank’s vision
of being Africa’s Bank of first choice.

The Bank is therefore seeking applications from suitably qualified
candidates with the right skills set and excellent leadership
potential.

Such individuals must possess acute thinking skills, financial and
methodical skills, as well as distinctive ability to communicate
effectively and synthesize ideas, information and data to aid decision
making.

Upon completion of the programme, successful candidates (Management
Associates) will be promoted to Assistant Manager grade, irrespective of
their grades at the point of entry.

Such individuals will be tagged as High-Potential staff (HiPos) in
the Bank and will enjoy regular promotion subject to consistent high
performance ratings in the yearly appraisal exercise.

Cross-country posting and secondment opportunities will be offered
to such staff across the FirstBank network to provide them global
exposure and network.
